Name: Acacia farnesiana Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes sparse to dense shrub thickets on coastal dunes and shell ridges along the western Louisiana and upper Texas coasts. It is dominated by thorny shrubs, including Acacia farnesiana (= Acacia minuta ssp. minuta), Opuntia stricta var. dillenii, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, and Yucca aloifolia. Celtis laevigata is often present as a small tree. The herb layer contains various dune herbs, but is usually dominated by Spartina patens, with Astragalus leptocarpus being common. It grades through widely scattered shrubs to herb-dominated dune vegetation. This alliance is commonly grazed, and the abundance of thorny and spiny species may be partly the result of grazing pressure.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23509.ACACIAFARNESIAN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
